How much calendula infused oil to use?

[sasha_88]

I've been making 1:10-1:15 calendula olive oil infusion and I've been including it in my soap at 42% of my oils. Is it too much in your opinion? I use half of my water as calendula tea, too. I looked at other recipes these days and some people say 10% of the oils is more than enough.
Any advice appreciated!

It sounds reasonable to me, but if your results suggest otherwise, then change it up. Are you getting nice color from it?

The difference between gelled and ungelled soap is huge - pale pastel yellow for ungelled and dark orange for gelled.
I was hoping by putting a lot in the soap, just maybe some of the wonderful properties might survive, it is my favourite herb.
